Well my new GTR survived 16 days and 570km until being damaged.

We left it parked defensively in a quiet carpark for one hour while we had dinner, of course no note left...

I hate some things about human nature!

Thankfully there are 2011 bumpers in Australia at the moment.

If it wasn't a car, that's quite a whack!

Reminds me of receiving my brand new 240K in '77. I drove out to see a friend at his chemist. Out in the carpark, my bonnet received a case of fruit. Car was 2 hours old!

I will have to pay the insurance excess of up to $800.

SGIO have been great I must admit, especially considering insurance is very reasonable at $1600 a year.

Do they allow your choice of repairer or do they want you to use theirs (like AAMI)?

that sucks mate. I can't stand arseholes who damage peoples cars and then act like they didn't notice and just drive off. I would want someone to leave me a note just as I would leave a note if I damaged someone else's car. It's not a big bloody deal. just the right thing to do if you damage someone else's property. even more so if it's a nice car which usually belongs to an enthusiast who takes pride in his/her car.

I do... You mean like this???

I have a camera set up at work that points directly onto my carpark. I have two parking spots and I park directly in the centre. I am certain it pisses people off but I paid for them so I can do what I want with them as far as I am concerned. I should take a screen capture.

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
